FMX - How to ignore html tags when parsing xml document

Hello!

I am having trouble parsing an xml document because the nodes contain text that has html tags. When I parse it in flash, it considers that the html tags are new nodes. How do you avoid this?

Everything loads into a variable: mainNode=xml document. And then it’s parsed.

Some nodes look something like:
<property><description>my name is <b>boris</b> and I like flash</description></property>

The problem is that any text in html tags (<i>,<b>,<u>,etc) is broken into a different node.

Any help welcome.
